Hi everybody,

at the moment I work on a Tamiya Alfa, which will replicate a low-budget weekend racecar, not in a brandnew condition.

The WIP will later be published, so youŽll just see some appetizers :biggrin:


... so here a first spy pic of my current project:

I did a model of that car a few years ago as a trans-kit for the Tamiya kit.
The hard part was the scratchbuilt GTAM wheels. I sold alot of the kits in
Japan and Europe.

Micha, you always hit us right between the eyes with your cool projects and this is no different. Excellent subject matter and of course fine craftmanship so far with this, typical of you.

Ahhhh, now I see why you choose the Tamy stuff: there's a Bialbero in the belly! Fantastic!

Hi Daniel,

the WIP will be published in "modelersite".

I collected several photos of this racer, there are existing some paintscemes similar to mine.

This is how it should look

Hello Micha;
man, this italian beast really comes out so damned cool and the contrast at the front with that red/white is my very special favorite!!
Clean, proper and very nice handcrafted plastic-art!!!
When i take a longer look i can almsot see it running, drifting 90° curves uphill......
A unique personally object!!!
Yours
Jochen

Tom,
is the 1/24 scale REJI kit (1974 ETCC Brno) a copy of you original kit?
